The rapid advancement of technology has led to a surge in electronic waste, posing a severe threat to the environment and public health. Discarded devices such as smartphones, laptops, televisions, and batteries contain toxic substances like lead, mercury, and cadmium that contaminate soil, water, and air when improperly disposed of. In Bangladesh, unregulated recycling centers in major cities often burn or dismantle old electronics in unsafe conditions, exposing workers and nearby residents to harmful fumes and pollutants.
